Can I password protect a server if I make the password publicly available?

Recommended Posts

Hypothetically, If I were to run a medium sized gaming community, could I password protect a server and have a public post on the gaming communities forum giving the password to both members and non-members? even if I were to say in the server name "password available at [forum address]"? Thanks very much -Micheal.

What would be the point of passwording it then? Either way, DayZ regs clearly state no server passwording.

Also, redirecting someone to a URL seems a little suspicious to me.

Just an idea I had to encourage the players on the server to join the community and limit server hoppers a bit, it would also discourage hackers slightly "why join this server when I could join another with less hassle?" anyway, I don't run a gaming community, just thought it would be a cool way to slightly restrict server access while hopefully abiding by the rules.

If you implemented the password strategy in this way it could also paint a target on your back for hackers.
